The economic feasibility of soybeans, grain sorghum, and corn in annual rotation with winter wheat using reduced … tillage and no-tillage systems in the Central Great Plains was evaluated, with continuous wheat and grain sorghum also … strategies under various risk preferences. The no-till wheat-soybean and reduced-till wheatsoybean systems are the first and …

A two-stage approach is used to estimate sensitivity of corn, wheat, and soybean yields to changes in prices and land ….82 for corn, wheat, and soybeans. Upper estimates of the elasticity of yield with respect to fertilizer equals +0.58, +0 ….29, and +0.16 for corn, wheat, and soybeans. Yields are found to be quite insensitive to price changes. Fertilizer demands and …

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the marketing performance of wheat farmers in Illinois and Kansas over 1982â …€“2004. The results show that farmer benchmark prices for wheat in Illinois and Kansas fall in the middle third of the price … and Kansas wheat farmers routinely market the bulk of their wheat crop in the bottom portion of the price range. Tests of …

Dual-purpose winter wheat production is an important economic enterprise in the southern Great Plains of the United … States. Because of the complex interactions involved in producing wheat grain and beef gain from a single crop, stocking … net returns from dual-purpose winter wheat production. Statistical tests rejected a conventional linear-response plateau …

Dual-purpose winter wheat (fall-winter forage plus grain) production is an important economic enterprise in the … optimal grazing termination date for dual-purpose wheat. The value of knowing the occurrence of first hollow stem (FHS), a … wheat growth threshold for grazing termination, is also determined. Results indicate that for most price situations grazing …

Production functions to explain regional wheat yields have not been studied extensively in the Canadian prairies. The … and variance of spring wheat yields. Using regional-level wheat data from Manitoba, Canada, model results show nitrogen … fertilizer, temporal diversity, and PBR wheat cultivars are associated with increased yield variance. Mean wheat yield is reduced …

Two methods were used to estimate the cost of forward contracting hard red winter wheat. One hundred days before …
